Ambergs New York ITALIA Opera com
pany will appear at Harper's theatre
this evening, presenting Milloecker's
charming comic opera, entitled "Tht
Beggar Student" This company has 6
grand chorus of forty voices, and viii

The costumes worn are marvel of rich,
| ness and beauty. Indeed this is one Of
those great attractions of rare merit which
the management of Harper's theatre has
happily secured being determined to give
the Rock Island public the very highest
order of entertainments whenever they
are possibly available.
The St. Joseph (Mo.) Daily Gazette
says of the company;
Last night Amberg's ITALIA opera COM

charming three act comic opera, the
"Beggar Student Owing to a misunder-
standing the date was not announced
Hhei lCts 81 nCll was lHt COiU>
psny known, that the mere mention of the
name was enough to draw a crowded
house, so that when the curtain rose on
the first act large audience greeted the
singers. The company is almost perfect,
the chorus being well drilled, evenly
balanced, and singing with thorough
understanding of the music Of the
principals too much Can not be SAID of
Messrs. Siunhold and Felix Schnele, the
students, the latter especially possessing
pure tenor voice, which he uses to
splendid advantage. Miss Sophie Offeney,
the Laura" of the cast, has strong
and well-Cutivated voice, which is pc
cuiarly well adapted to the music of the
role. The company, taken throughout,
is far superior to the average comic opera
company, and is strong rival of Nc
Caulls heretofore unexcelled troupe.

ment for a revocation of the order for

Seven Persons Killed and 800
Houses Destroyed.

LONDON, June 16.-There has been great
conhagration in Botuschany, Roumania
Eight hundred houses were destroyed and
seven persons killed
The Central News makes the following
announcement: 1.-THE Queen has become
alarmed by the reports that the police had
discovered that dynamite plots had been ar
ranged to be carried out during jubilee week.
The Home Office authorities were angry be-
cause the police disclosed information about
the existence of the plots, and called upon
them for an explanation. The police, as an
excuse, said they made. the matter known in
order to deter desperadoes from carrying out
any plots which they may have formed, but
acting under superior orders they now de-
clare that the only persons they nave been
watching are Casey and his followers, Of
whose movements they have kept themselves
informed"
On the resumption of the debate on the
crimes bill this evening Dillon moved to adj
jOurn in order to call the attention of the
House to the Bodyke evictions. The govern
ment, he said, had refused to appoint a com
mittee to inquire into the matter He was
therefore bound TO demand an open discus
sion in Parliament The eviction of thirty
five families had disclosed features of great
harshness. Landlord Callaghan, ever since
he got possession Of his estate had been rails
ing rents without eApending a shilling for
the improvement of the property The re-
rult was that one of the most industrious sets
OF tenants in Ireland had been ruined.
1t was on record that Callaghan had said
he would have no greater conjunction in
putting tenant on the roadside than he
would have in shooting q bird (cries of
shame) The police had acted bruttally, max
ing wanton attacks on women and children.
Seeing the public interest in the matter the
government out to grant full inquiry, the
same as.after the Belfast riot.

The good work done in the world by spin
sters is almost incalculable. Florence Night
ingale and Sister Dora, to whose memory
statue was so recently erected at Walsall,
are notable examples, and they have opened
the way for many to follow, athoweyer hum
BILE distance, in their steps. Since the
Crimean war nursing has become an honor
able profession, and when we remember the
thousands Of devoted women who nurse at
pitals-to say nothing Of those scattered in
provincial institutions Of the klnd-we must
recognize that the great army of women who
were formerly idle and useless, because no
womanly sphere Of work was open to them,
has been marvellously reduced in numbers
And what kind Of women are these skilful,
self reliant, gentle nurses, to whom the sick
and suffering owe so much Of the comfort
they enjoy in our hospitals and infrmaries
They are precisely the women who would
have made the best wives and mothers, had
1t been their lot to marry and have little
ones clinging round their knees. Love comes
into every woman's life, and though II may
not end in welded happiness, it transmute:
all 1t touches into gold 1t is those who have
loved and lost, or who have loved the unat
tainable, OF, 1t may be, who have loved and

HE GUT THE BRIDGE.
Trouble in Washington County Be-

Into His Own Hands.
Especial to the Press. ]

CALAIS, June 16.-James Leighton, who
cut the bridge over tide waters Of Little
River, in the town of Perry, because it OBJ
structed bis navigation, had hearing before
Judge Rounds, Tuesday, 1t appeared from
the testimony that Leighton owns saw mill
which is situated ON the stream about quar-
ter of mile above the site of the bridge.
On account of the bridge he was unable to
bring his sloop up to the mill to load. Being
unable to get draw put into the bridge, he
took the law into his own hands. On the
night of Tuesday week, he, with the assist
ance and collusion of two men, named Col
lier and Armstrong, cut the piles and sup
ports, and with the turn Of the tide the
structure fell and was carried piece-meal out
into Passamaquoddy Bay.
Collier turned States evidence, and was
discharged. A warrant is out for Arm
strong's arrest. but he has not yet been
found.
Judge G.. B. Rounds and Hon. Archibald
McNichol of Calais. appeared for the town,
and Messrs. E. K Smart of Pembroke and
John French of Eastport, for the defendant.
Leighton was bound over in the sum OF
$500 on each warrant, to appear before the
grand jury at Machias, at the October term.
Pending decision by the court the bridge
has been rebuilt
Leighton, by his action, has rendered him.
self amenable to the Federal laws by de-
stroying the telephone line, which offence is
punishable by fine of $500, and of obstruct.
ing the United States mails, for which q
heavy penalty is attached.
The new bridge was completed the first OF
the present week. The right to build the
brid ge was originally awarded to three par.
ties in Perry, by the State Legislature In
1921, with no limitations except that all traf
fc should be free. Nothing was said about
draw. In 1888 the bridge was assigned t.
the town, in whose possession it has beer

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Long and short Haul Question.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The prominent
railroad lawyers who are here Isay that the
decision of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on the long and short haul evades
the issue. An appeal to the courts is as open
as to the new tribunal. In lodging its own
dilemma the commission has not wholly re-
lieved the railroads. For control by con-
mission it has substitutedlwhat may prove to
be government by lawsuit. The best which
can be said for this ruling is that it is COM
promise which will be attacked by extremists
on both sides-those who want the roads free
and those :who want the rule enforced.
President Roberts OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, who is here, says: 81 saw that it would
have been utterly impossible for them to
deal with each case, and thought some time
ago that they would have to decide to wait
for complaints, as they have done. Now,
under their decision the law stands as it was
passed, and If any one feels that the rail
roads are breaking they get the opportunity
to have their complaint considered. The
cases specified whereing a dissimiliarity in
condition exists do not fully understand.
Water competition certainly makes circum-
stance which ought to be taken into account
and so does the competition of foreign roads.
As to the dissimilarity from other railroads,
it may cover so wide field that | would not
like to say anythinglabout it until read the
entire decision"
